John 5:45
Compare all
43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
44 aHow can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek bthe honor that comes from the only God?  
45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; athere is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust.  
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; afor he wrote about Me.  
47 But if you ado not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

John 5:45

Think not (mh dokeite). Prohibition with mh and the present imperative. See on verse John 5:39 for dokew for mistaken opinions in John.

I will accuse you (egw kathgorhsw umwn). Emphasis on egw (I). Future active indicative of kathgorew (kata, against, agoreuw, to speak in the assembly agora, to bring an accusation in court, a public accusation). See Romans 3:9 for proaitiaomai for making previous charge and Luke 16:1 for diaballw, a secret malicious accusation, and Romans 8:33 for egkalew, for public charge, not necessarily before tribunal.

Even Moses (Mwushv). No "even" in the Greek.

On whom ye have set your hope (eiv on umeiv hlpikate). Perfect active indicative of elpizw, state of repose in Moses. Only example of elpizw in John. See II Corinthians 1:10 for use of eiv with elpizw instead of the usual epi (I Timothy 4:10).
